- You can sign your name using four tildes, like ~~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
- If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
- If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page.
Other useful pages are: how to edit, how to write a great article, naming conventions, manual of style and the Wikipedia policies.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian Tony the Marine 20:04, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Religious remark
Hello. I couldn't help noticing your comment on TeckWiz's RFA. If you don't mind a personal comment, I am tempted to suggest that you avoid using sentences such as "God bless him" to users unless you are aware of their religious observance. I am saying this because many users on Wikipedia might be e.g. atheists and might frown upon such sentences because it looks as if you don't even consider that they might not believe in God (I'm agnostic and I have felt slightly offended in a similar situation before). I'm not saying that Wikipedia is a heathen place, but I do recommend avoiding religious greetings when addressing the community. Last but not least, the sentence you appended to your signature "Deus, Familia, Patria" can also be considered inflammatory, as for example in my country that used to be the motto of the fascist government we had through most of the XX century. Sorry for expressing my views which might have sounded a little bit bitter. Best regards, Húsönd 23:19, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

- Oh, I'm really sorry if I caused distress. I was not troubled or angry by your sentences, and they were not a mistake. It's just that I saw that you were a new user and from my experience on Wikipedia, I thought that I should alert that political/religious/ideological issues are often better to keep restricted. Which doesn't mean that you may not express your faith in God (you're absolutely free to do so on Wikipedia), but like I said it's better to bear in mind that Wikipedians come from all over the world and have all kinds of religions, so beware with faux pas. On the other hand, don't take my recommendations too seriously. Please accept my most sincere apologies if I was unpleasant or made you feel guilty. Best regards, Húsönd 01:01, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

I know you're new to Wikipedia, but I'd suggest slowing down with those unreferenced tags and make sure they're necessary. - Dudesleeper · Talk 16:25, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, but I have also added the requested reference, that is http://www.thalesgroup.com/press/press_releases/1_10531_236_13091.html
Not enough?

Acacia oerfota(Forssk.) Schweinf.
I would say that you need to justify why you think it is nonsense. LegumeWeb [1] doesn't think so and it is extremely well documented. Dcarlson 19:17, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
Can you explain why you labeled Acacia oerfota patent nonsense? I am not knowledgeable in that area of science, and it appears to me that user:Dcarlson may be, given his edit history. It is clear that only someone with knowledge in that area could judge whether the content is nonsense or not, and in that case, an inviation to all administrators (such as me) to delete on sight seems rash. Michael Hardy 19:21, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
- Hello. You recently posted a comment on my talk page regarding my request for the speedy deletion of Acacia oerfota. I would like to explain to you that the article was empty when I requested its speedy deletion. The information that appears on the current version of the article was added after my request. Please forgive me if I am wrong. Yours truly, Boricuaeddie 20:10, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
But it was not empty; it included a template that had some information. That's all that was there before I got this message on my talk page from you. Certainly there was no reason to call it "patent nonsense". Michael Hardy 20:33, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

The article has 4 web references + a text reference to his book. I though that that was enough for a stub article in order to remove the tag. What specific part of the article needs an additional reference? Sijo Ripa 13:39, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

It's not a company. It's a standard developed by the state administration in China. There is no speedy criterion for this kind of thing. Moreover, if it's a communications standard specified by the Chinese state, it is inherently encyclopedic since it affects several billion people, and will influence international corporations for years to come. Note that it is referenced, since the second of the external link explicitly states the same facts as in the article right at the top of the page. Splash - tk 14:42, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
- Note: The article was fixed (properly referenced), as I requested, before I could reply. Boricuaeddie
Thales Alenia Space again!!
Now the article has a Reference Section, I have added a link to the OFFICIAL Thales Group website and you still put the unreferenced tag???? --Arroww 18:22, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
This comment has been responded to here. Boricuaeddie
Hello Eddie. The article is a stub and I've attributed that the description of the organization comes from their website. Are you contesting that the description of NDRI is inaccurate? If you can indicate what else requires a reference I'll be glad to try to find one, but I feel at this point the article doesn't make any claims that require outside sources to back up. As far as I know, it's not policy to leave the uncited notice on articles that are just stubs and in development (see the last bullet point at Template:Unreferenced). There doesn't seem to be any criteria currently for the uncited tag based on the "When to cite sources" in WP:CITE. Regards, --Howrealisreal 19:30, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

It's a movie article and gives it's imdb link, where all the info given is corraborated. Don't see you putting these unrefernced tags on Hollywood movies .Haphar 10:43, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
This comment has been responded to here. Boricuaeddie
- Look Eddie, I think more than one person told you the same ( imdb is reliable) including myself above, if you still go ahead and revert despite three other persons disagreeing with you, expecting a very charming response is misplaced. And if you are looking to make a difference and promoting wikilove, look to "add" to the articles rather than looking to find faults. One way could be to first search for references and put them, or put the uncited tag after you couldn't trace references. Being on article patrol looking for faults is not going to promote wikilove. Haphar 07:30, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
- So others pay for your ignorance ? please learn all the policies before going to tag others pages. And if you are going to come to my talk page and leave wiki smiles to promote wikilove, (without my asking you to), please be ready to receive advice on what amounts to wikilove in my opinion. Haphar 07:01, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

The citations
Where are the unsourced comments in A Dangerous Path? DAVID CAT 21:28, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
It's an article about a book, isn't the book itself the primary source? DAVID CAT 21:57, 23 April 2007 (UTC) Is is the "bestselling"? if it's the "bestselling", ill get rid of the word if you say so DAVID CAT 22:24, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
I copied and pasted the plot summaries from Warriors (book series), should i cite that? its the only work i used. DAVID CAT 23:09, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
ok i'll explain it more clearly: article Warriors (book series) contained those exact plot summaries, but they made the page too long, so i put the plot summaries into the book articles and linked to them from Warriors (book series) DAVID CAT 15:37, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

As stated that is a logo. People can you it freely unless they alter it in any way!!!!!!!!! Yeesh. Before you go busting of somebodys picture, check first! And the only person whos gonna destroy my user page is Durin. Runewiki777 23:44, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
images
but I did dent upload that image.--Fang 23 23:34, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi there
Hello, Boricuaeddie:
I've been around on Wikipedia long enough to know that potentially contentious claims need sources! I had every intention on adding them, after I had translated the main bulk of the article from Spanish. When you sent the message to me, my article was not finished yet, but I have to save the pages that I work on, whether they are completed or not, every twenty minutes or so, as I have the dodgiest internet connection around, which has lost me some collosal articles in the past!

Poochin article
I'm not entirely sure why you think the Poochin article is uncited. A) the parent article contains similar information, and b) the first link provided is an external source about the specific breed.
If it is simply because it does not have a Citation tag then why didn't you just put it in yourself? The location to cite was available on the page.
Thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Julisana (talk • contribs) 14:19, 29 April 2007 (UTC).

Unreferenced tags
You need to watch what you place unreferenced tags on. In one article about a movie you marked it as unrefereced when wikipedia considers imdb.com to be a verifiable reliable reference for use on movie and actor/actress articles. And on another page you marked it as not referenced as well and it had hockeydb.com which is considered a verifiable reliable reference for the sake of hockey player articles. --Djsasso 22:51, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Every possible piece of information you might need to create a citation for the book itself is already on the page, in the infobox, so... Thank you for your suggestion! When you feel an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes. Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the Edit this page link at the top. You don't even need to log in (although there are many reasons why you might want to). The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold in updating pages. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes — they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome. IPSOS (talk) 23:43, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Darth Nihl
I expanded it. I'll try to add an image later. Can it not be deleted now? Chack Jadson 21:34, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
- Hey, I think it's good. Sorry I couldn't get an image, I haven't been able to upload for months now. See the Wookieepedia page on Darth Nihl and you'll see they are similar in content. By the way, as a Star Wars fan, have you ever considered joining Wookieepedia? I am a major Star Wars fan and I spend most of my time there as Chack Jadson. It's perfect for those who like Star Wars.

Please don't bite the newbies
Hey, I think this comment [2] in Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/nuclearj was a little unkind. The editor only joined Wikipedia today- he doesn't know an RfA is a bad idea or why people would oppose him. If you are going to comment on these hopeless RfAs from very new editors- please make them feel welcome and make constructive comments about how they can help out without being an admin.

Re. Sorry
Hey Boricuaeddie, you really don't need to appologise for your comments you made on that RfA, it's something that's been saddening me for a while and you 3 that originally opposed to the brunt of it! I just don't like to see new users who don't understand how we discuss and operate being bitten, it happens all to often. Looking back at it, you comments was certainly the least bitey so I guess I'm norry if you felt I was snapping. Keep up the great work you do. :-) Ryan Postlethwaite 14:17, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Al Denson
Hi, I'm replying tyour message. I had just created the article (in fact I hadn't finished yet) when you put the tag. The links to the stats for Denson are already there, if a tag should be put I suggest to put in the thousands of bios of the football players that there are already in Wikipedia.Gypaetus 16:03, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I believe all the wikiprojects I belong to are on my user page. :) Have a nice day. Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 16:34, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Richard Bradshaw
Richard Bradshaw contains one bit of information, and 8 other pages have links to it. Google search for "Richard Bradshaw" "Canadian Opera Company" finds "about 19000" Ghits, so he is likely notable. With time this page may expand. OK, I have now redirected it to Canadian Opera Company. Anthony Appleyard 21:30, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
I have now inserted a reference. Two people (including yourself) have now threatened to delete this harmless article for one reason or another. Will you now remove the tag? Dormskirk 21:28, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the Ok to remove the unclassified tag. I have now reinserted the stub tag.Dormskirk 23:11, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you Agüeybaná, for voting on my RfA. Although it failed, I will try to improve in the ways pointed out to me, and maybe I will become an admin next time. If you have any comments, questions, etc., you know where to go. ¿SFGiДnts! ☺ ☻ 22:03, 6 May 2007 (UTC) |

Your point about the article is taken and your assumptions are correct. However, I don't think I violated NPOV as the article simply describes the history of the institution and services offered to the community. In terms of the inclusion of the article - several public libraries have articles, so I don't think adding an article about this particular system is out of line. Indeed, presenters at a recent conference I attended suggested adding an article on individual libraries. I can name at least one other library article that was written by a library staffer, and I imagine that some of the others probably were too. The only difference is that I state my profession upfront and that I also try to contribute on other articles. I've been editing Wikipedia for some time and I feel that I have a decent record. So I'm not sure of the best way to handle this. For starters, do you find anything in the article itself objectionable / NPOV ? Thanks. Blotto adrift 23:03, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not sure I take your same reading of the policy - it states that "you should avoid or exercise great caution editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with." I feel that I have adhered to the second tenet of this policy. As for rewriting the article, I don't feel that I'm in a position to ask anyone to do that. Please report the article to admin if you feel it necessary to do so and I will obviously stand by their decision. And while I appreciate your positive words about the article, I can't help but feel dis encouraged (discouraged). I believe that the article should stand on its own merits or lack thereof, not of the credentials of the person who wrote it. I understand the reasoning behind the policy and I think it's a good one - however, I'm having difficulty in the immediate assumption of bias in this case. Blotto adrift 00:03, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello Eddie, I tried to make a page about the Manhattan Piano Trio. In my talks I also explain why I think the page should be there, but despite that has been removed 3 times. Am I doing something wrong with a procedure? Because I feel is a little bit strange that a page about a Piano Trio performing internationally and regularly cannot find a place here, where there are so many artists that are mentioned by themself, out of their ego only. Of course I feel is wrong from my side to keep insisting uploading something that is deleted systematically, but as I am not fully familiar with the way of working of wikipedia, I did not understand if is you deleting that, or if the system is deleting that, or who knows....some other piano trio that hates them :) Best regards, Raniero, ranierotazzi
